Okay, here's what I'm up to. Trying to create a dual boot AND access the internet through Vista whitch doesn't have drivers for my modem. Starting to like VB and have full communication from Vista(H) and Millennium(G), but cant get to the USB to gain my modem back, and wuld like to solve ALL the issues I'm having,so HERE I AM.
The dual boot problem can be solved if I can gain access to a virt floppy contained on the Vista.(My machine doesn't have one) I'm using a program VFD 2.1 to create a virt floppy then set floppy to drive a:, open VB then set the floppy to host, up to this point no probs. Load ME and try to make a boot floppy and the problem is the drive don't have a disk in it
The exact error is: Please insert floppy. Am I missing something?
Heres what I'm using:
Host
Vista SP0 Demo (for now)
Dell 2.8ghz 1 g RAM (BEFORE VB)
Using above mentioned VFD 2.1
VB 3.04
Guest
WIN ME standard install using 250 mb of the host on default machine setup. Enabled both the cd and floppy to the host.
I have been working on this boot/modem/dialup for almost a month, God I must be insane!!! ANY help would be truly appreciated. I'm gonna go play with this thing and patiently (not!) wait for a reply.

I don't think VirtualBox cab use these. But you can save an image in vfd and mount that in virtualbox.

I got a disk in the drive now, but as you say,VB "Cannot properly access the disk" I think I'm gonna try to find an img file that VB can handle. I think when I'm finished with this LITTLE project I'm gonna write it on e-how or something

If you have vfdwin look in that. Do "save" give it a filename and you have a file that you can mount in VirtualBox as a floppy.

Here's what happened. The missus wanted me to install new LR set in the house, so I installed a floppy at the same time..I figured couldnt work virt-to-virt easily. Then found out ( the hard way) about 2 settings in the BIOS. Be sure to make everything available to the system. Now everything works fine. BTW I am posting a how to on e-how, and e-blogger concerning dual-boot building using several programs including this one. I used it to generate some boot files that were desperately needed. I am in the process of writing the articles, but they should post in the next day or so.
